Title: ~# blocks remaining doubles then drops?
Post by: brubits on April 27, 2013, 05:30:31 PM
[If there's a way to attach images, I'd post screen shots.?]
Today (and other days) the blocks remaining jumps from ~6800 to ~14500, and now it's at ~6100.
The last; receive version message: version 70001, blocks=233433 from debug.log but on the status shows ' of 225430 blocks of transaction history'
Something wrong or just normal?

There is a lot of irrelevant stuff in the log. This is what a block download looks like: Committing 446 changed transactions to coin database...

as long as you see continuing block downloads, everything is fine. The number of blocks remaining is obtained from a calculation of the most recent block number from multiple peers - if you don't have enough peers for consensus, or one is sending you bad data, then Bitcoin will use block 216116 as the best height in it's display calculations instead.
